The Oscar joins a growing accumulation of awards that the film has received, including a Golden Globe for Best Animated Motion Picture, six Annie Award including Best Animated Feature, and of course the AARP Movies for Grownups Award for best film for grownups who refuse to grow up (Oh wait, no it wasn't that was Kubo! *shakes fist* Aw well, can't win them all). An exhaustively long list can be found on its IMDb page here.

The film is currently also seen as the most likely to achieve the Best Anthropomorphic Motion Picture award of the fandom’s upcoming Ursa Major Awards, despite there being a slew of options from 2016. Some of its strongest competition comes from Kung Fu Panda 3, The Secret Life of Pets, and of course its old rival Kubo and the Two Strings.

Furry fandom has celebrated this victory with pictures of Judy and Nick in dapper dress holding the famed golden statue trophy; the expressions of joy and triumph in their eyes as the hold their award rivaling that of their human counterparts upon the stage. And in the end, as Zootopia continues to be rewarded for its triumph, furries are more hopeful for a future where anthropomorphism in media picks up pace as competitors try and emulate the success of the film. They also hold hope that people interested in Zootopia-like worlds pay a welcome visit our own as well.

I misread the award list on the IMDB page and it was indeed nominated for the Grownups who refuse to Grow up and wasn't the winner. Article was updated to reflect this (in a way that doesn't sweep the error under the rug). Thanks for your attentiveness.

Would it be possible to publish an online compendium of all the pictures of Nick & Judy at the Oscars ceremony?

I remember when somebody published a well-meant tribute collection of all the newspaper editorial cartoons about President Kennedy’s assassination, a few years later. It was the sort of theoretical good idea that turned out to be horribly embarrassing in practice. Of the hundreds of editorial cartoons from around the world, the book had to omit the best and most famous; Bill Mauldin’s. The book’s editor couldn’t get permission to reprint it. The cartoons that were published just showed how unimaginative most cartoonists were. There were dozens of variations of only three or four themes: the American flag at half-mast, a family grieving, weeping Uncle Sams, a heroic Jacqueline Kennedy with a black arm band, etc.

It’s still on sale: A Nation Grieved; the Kennedy Assassination in Editorial Cartoons, compiled by Raymond B. Rajski.

It might be of interest that 'Zootopia' is currently the most popular furry movie theme on FurAffinity, Weasyl and Inkbunny, above previous top movie themes 'Lion King' and 'Bolt'. Steadily increasing since March last year.

Also notable are a couple of films that didn't get nominated. Some expressed surprise that Disney/Pixar film Finding Dory didn't get a nomination. Many fans of anime were outraged that Your Name, the #1 box office film in Japan in 2016, didn't get a nomination either.

It was less than two weeks ago, long after nominees were announced, that I first saw Your Name, and I'm inclined to agree that it should have gotten a nomination, and might even have been right up there with Kubo as having a shot at pulling an upset over runaway favorite Zootopia. I am pleased Zootopia won the award but color me disappointed that Your Name didn't at least get a nomination.

It used to be (and not so long ago) that there would be some custom animation done of the stars of each film either placed in the chair with the audience or accepting the Oscar itself. Here's an example from the 2010 ceremony showing exactly that, or similar... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-9VamodYP8

How wonderful would it have been to have exclusive animation done precisely for this event from all the nominees, and especially Nick and Judy giving an acceptance speech!

I was hoping to see something like that too. Especially if they got cheeky and did some "winner animation" that maybe involved Nick and Judy kissing -- just to play with the minds of shippers and anti-shippers alike...
